The Private Clouds

Last month I've been invited to give a couple of talks about Cloud computing in the wonderful C3RS (Cisco Cloud Computing Research Symposium) and in a Spanish e-science meeting. (The slides are available online, if you want to check). Although the audiences were quite heterogeneous, there is a recurrent question among the participants of these events: How can I set my private cloud?. Let me briefly summarize the mo...

The Emerging Ecosystem ...

MIT Technology Review has just published an interesting article entitled "Openning the Cloud" about open-source technological components to build a cloud-like infrastructure. The article focuses on the IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) paradigm, describing the components required to develop a solution to provide virtualized resources as a service. The article briefly describes the following technologies: OpenNebula, Globus Nimbus, and Eucalyptus. In the OpenNenul...

This week we (Javier Fontan and me) are attending the Open Source Grid Conference. The conference overall is being great, and I feel that in general the audience is more active than that of a more paper oriented type of meeting. We have had the opportunity to talk to some GridWay users and discuss with them future direct...
